Week 38 - Flown the Nest

This year we had two nests under our balcony.  A Robin's nest in the joists and a Dark-Eyed Junco's nest on the ground in the plants that grow under our balcony.  Neither were in great places to take pictures of (too dark and too much in the way) but it was fun to watch for a little while until the birds all left.  Both nests hatched the same day as each other and both nests emptied the same day as each other.  I don't know how normal that is but it surprised me that two such different sized birds would grow up at the exact same rate.  In any event here are a few pictures taken over the last little while.
